Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-8248: ------------------------------------- bq. Which above policy? Branches can use RTC, or whatever they decide upon. Therefore it is possible that the branch content has not actually been reviewed by another committer before merging. Right, that's why I also added: Perhaps we should add a 3-day minimum voting period for branch merges to trunk when that branch didn't follow the normal RTC guidelines? > Clarify bylaws about review-then-commit policy > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8248 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8248 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: c8248_20120409.patch, proposed-bylaw-change.txt > > > As discussed on the mailing list (thread "Requirements for patch review" > 4/4/2012) we should clarify the bylaws with respect to the review-then-commit > policy.
